    This always felt like a convenient retcon. Dubya misspoke all the time, I have a hard time believing he could actually think on his feet that quickly.

      The clip clearly shows him not thinking on his feet that well, he’s just reacting to something his PR team had probably been trying to drill into him for years, but mid-sentence. Treating it as “quick-thinking” is vastly overstating it.
